Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello, my son is 2yr old and he has bow legs that we have watched to straighten for 2yrs now. he has been placed on calcium and vit D medication for almost a year now cos it was discovered he had traces of rickets, how long do we wait for it to be straight?
Mild bowing of legs is common in toddlers (1-3 yrs). If you are on vitamin D and calcium then the symptoms will be all right soon. Sun exposure is essential for growing bones. The ideal time would be between 11 am to 3 pm, a minimum of 20-40 minutes in a week is enough. So he will be alright soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
